    With Inside Out, Hero 2, Pokemon opening, and The Boy and the Beast 2nd weekend, this weekend is gonna be HUGE! I hope Inside Out opens at #1. But based on the content of the movie, and early reviews from those who saw the preview, I belive it will have amazing legs anyway. But this summer is pretty crowded. We still have Jurassic World and MI5. The box office is gonna be very exciting.

    I've seen a lot of Indian films. Most of them, especially the big ones are like that, old school with cheesy slo mo and sometimes ridiculous scenes, but very entertaining. I guess this one is the same but in more epic scale. I agree, I think you would enjoy Dhoom series and Salman Khan films. They do often ignore script and logic. That's why personally, I'm more of an Aamir Khan fan, since his films usually have great scripts, but still commercial with mass appeals. Aamir Khan's last 3 big movies all broke the all time box office record in India. I hope they release Baahubali here too. You made me want to see it.

    I think we're talking about "today". Yes, the earlier HP movies were some of the biggest movies ever in Japan. But Hollywood movies were huge there in the 2000's, especially in early 2000's, not only Harry Potter. Now, they're kinda dead except for Disney/Pixar.

    It still is I think. For a country like Japan, we can't judge how big the market is based on some Hollywood movies. Nowadays, local movies have bigger share there. They make the same or bigger numbers than Furious 7 or AoU made in UK or South Korea. Although that position is gonna be taken over by other countries due to population ageing (and decrease) in Japan. The exact same situation in every country including the US (except for Chris Pratt, but overseas he's not that big of a star yet), but that didn't stop it from making huge numbers. Besides, it's not the older casts that reconnected the fans to JP. It's the dinosaurs, and the park itself. So it has the potential to break out, but whether it actually will, is still unknown.

    This! It was boring until that part. I don't inderstand how it's getting 70% overall on RT. And before somebody accuses me of being an IO fanboy or whatever, I haven't seen IO, it hasn't even been released here, and I love minions. But the movie was just disappointing. It's still gonna open big though. Not sure about the legs.
  6. catlover
    LOL. Obviously I meant 800m yen.

    It's the biggest OW for an imported live action movie since Deathly Hallows part 2 in 2011. I'm shocked too. With Japan's box office situation right now, I thought there was no way it would increase from the first one. Disney wins again.
  8. catlover
    8b yen? Wow! Didn't expect this at all. I thought it would decrease from the first one. The biggest OW for an imported live action movie in 4 years. And it's a superhero movie. Even Spider-Man doesn't make numbers this big anymore. Summer holiday is starting, so even with heavy competitions, I don't think it will get multipliers lower than 5x.
  9. catlover
    You can skip Minions. What a borefest.
  10. catlover
    Go see IO again instead of Minions! But if you're still curious about Minions, find the cheapest ticket available for it. lol
  11. catlover
    Saw Minions last week, and I can assure you WOM won't be good among teen, adults, and ever older kids. I LOVE minions (I have minion key chains and things like that) but the movie was super boring. I was asleep for like half of it. I mean, I enjoyed Turbo, Epic, or other mediocre animated films, even Home. I asked some of my friends who had already seen it, and literally ALL of them said they fell asleep too. But the little kids seemed to enjoy it. That's why I think Minions will affect IO only on OW. I hope it won't outgross IO, at least in NA.
  12. catlover
    Ah okay. That makes more sense. I was hoping it would surprise too in Indonesia. Btw, INA is Indonesia and IND is India. At least that's what they're using in international sporting events.
  13. catlover
    It is. Wow. 7.6m? It could be the biggest movie ever, but with Minions released tomorrow and Inside Out around the corner, JW's legs will be cut short. Minions are extremely popular here. School holiday has started though. And then there will be Eid holiday, so who knows.
  14. catlover
    Yes. And on Thursday in Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore. I don't know the reason for other countries, but I think they do that here so the release coincides with school holiday which just started. And maybe because the US release date is so close to Eid, which is reserved for local blockcuster movies.
  15. catlover
    And the 80's. Like me, most kids who saw JP in the theater were born in the 80's.
  16. catlover
    And "such large divergence never existed for mega blockbuster films". How could you miss that? That's the main point.
  17. catlover
    But with a different lead actor, would it have broken the record? I mean, Chris Pratt was one of the reasons I was excited about JW.
  18. catlover
    Seriously I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Jurassic World will break the OW record. I know the first 2 movies broke it but every other OW breaking movie was the most anticipated movie of that year (HP1, SM1, DMC, SM3, TDK, TA1, etc). I mean, that's how you get the biggest OW ever. But JW was no where near that position in the year where we have TA2, MJ2, and SW8. Or maybe it was, but we were not aware of that? I'm so happy though. JW is not a perfect movie but I loved it. The most fun I've ever had at the cinema this year. And I also loved all the tributes to Jurassic Park. Brought back happy (and scary?) childhood memories.

    Wow Disney REALLY dominates Japan. I thought Disney's winning streak would stop for a while with Tomorrowland, considering how it's disappointing everywhere else. But it's actually doing good. Can't wait for Inside Out. With amazing early reviews, and how Japanese love stories about family, it will be HUGE there.

    TS4, Finding Dory, and Frozen 2 will all be big, but how big, I don't know. I agree, Frozen 2 will definitely be down from the first one, TS4 will likely be down too, and Dory have a chance to be bigger than Nemo, especially if it's as good as Nemo, or at least close to it in quality. Monster's University, which was just average quality-wise, could almost match Monster's Inc's number. Judging by the emotional parts that can be seen in the trailers, I agree. $100m or not, Disney (through Pixar) will continue its streak this year.

    Doesn't need a holiday, just some great holds like this past weekend. I know it's unlikely, but it's not out of the question. Corpse said 6b could be in play, so maybe 6.5b too. Also I'm not sure about the schedule, are there any big movies coming this May/June? Btw, FF7 soundtrack album and the song See You Again are dominating iTunes Japan. The album is climbing on Oricon chart (physical album chart) too, reaching #2 this past week. Very rare for a hip-hop song/album.

    -2%! Wow great legs for Cinderella. Maybe it can surpass Maleficent after all (in Yen and adm). And yay to FF7 passing 3b yen!
  23. catlover
    In dollar, I don't think so. Because with current rates it has to make 7.5b yen. That's not impossible, but it would need some crazy legs. But I think it still has a chance to pass Maleficent in yen, even though it's gonna be hard.
  24. catlover
    Around $27m? Frozen short is definitely helping it, but I think they like Cinderella too. And lately, Disney in general. The biggest Hollywood movies in the last 3 years? 1. Frozen - 25.5b 2. Big Hero 6 - 9.2b 3. Monster's University - 8.9b 4. Maleficent - 6.5b 5. Les Miserables - 5.9b As you can see, Disney really dominates Japanese market for Hollywood releases. And Cinderella will likely be #6 or 5 if it has great legs.
  25. catlover
    According to The Numbers, in Indonesia, AoU has made $12,368,497 after 2 weeks, already higher than TA's total. Meanwhile FF7, which is currently the highest grossing movie of all time, is at $16,629,601 after 5 weeks. If AoU is at around $15.7m or more after this weekend, then it will break the record, since Mad Max or Pitch Perfect won't be as damaging to AoU as AoU was to FF7.
